Ambition Essay 12

Ambition probably being one of the most powerful emotions a person can have. It takes true passion for something you love. It’s always different depending on the person. The reward is always the same. To me it is the motivation, to strive to do the best I ca. My motivation is singing.

My whole life I’ve wanted to be a Broadway singer and performer. When I was young my brother and I would perform together in front of my parents. My brother just being such an amazing pianist inspires me and gives me the courage and motivation I need to be a good performer and to never give up and do my best. My brother supports me and my singing and it’s an amazing feeling to have so much support and love from him.

Ten years from now, I can see myself singing on Broadway having the lights on me and performing in front of hundreds of people. The shows always sold out and everyone would applaud really loud when I would take my bow. Doing what I love and having the time of my life is the best experience every. The rush of blood and and energy you get when you see everyone enjoying your performance is unbelievably incredible. When you get to go out the backstage door and sign autographs and have people tell you “you were amazing” is the best reward in the world.

Ambition doesn’t have to be a big thing. It can just be the motivation to get that extra dessert if you get your homework done to getting the money you need to go see the concert you want to see. Having a strong belief in something makes you come out a winner and feeling amazing like you’ve done your best.

“Great ambition is the passion of a great character. Those endowed with it may perform very good or very bad acts. All depends on the principals which direct them.” - Napoleon Bonaparte. Ambition can be defined as the desire and willingness to strive towards achievement or distinction, the motivation in one’s life, it is one of the key sources to success but ambition can blind one from determining what’s right and what’s wrong. On the contrary, driving ambition is the outright desire to achieve a certain goal, regardless of any possible consequences. When ambition goes unhindered by a sense of morality and, humanity it can be a corrupting influence destroying people and, nations. In “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare Macbeth’s ambition led to destruction of himself. Through the use of dramatic elements such imagery and characterization Shakespeare conveys an important theme about ambition in Macbeth.
If a picture can tell a thousand words, than imagine the importance of an image upon a play such as Macbeth. I was thought that in any literary work it is exceedingly important that the author can effectively manipulate a reader's feelings towards a character from the inside out. In Macbeth, that achievement is accomplished beautifully by Shakespeare. Through his practical use of imagery, Shakespeare shows us a deeper...

...Usually, Dickinson portrays death as the main theme in her poems but in these two particular poems, she uses death as a feature in order to portray a bigger theme, faith. Dickinson’s ‘the World is not Conclusion’ considers on the concept of the afterlife and ‘Behind Me-Dips Eternity’ considers about life and immortality. I will analyse both of these poems to find out how Dickinson presents faith using the language, form and structure.
501 is an interesting poem as it combines elements of afterlife, doubt and faith. But she starts with a strong, aphoristic, positive statement as an opening, ‘The World Is Not Conclusion.’ The statement conveys the sense of finality and conclusion because of the punctuation. The full stop emphasises the statement and makes us remember the phrase very well. This suggests that Dickinson states that the world is not going to end with certainty, as she knows it as a fact.
Dickinson presents faith by using personification. For example, she says, ‘faith slips.’ Faith is presented as a young, innocent girl who slips. ‘Slips’ may suggest that both of the abstract concept of loss of faith and the more concrete image of the physical movement of tripping. It suggests that she isn’t confident about faith; we see a sense of doubt and uncertainty in the word ‘faith’ which is why it is personified as a young girl.
Dickinson uses capitalised words to present faith. For example, ‘Must Gesture, from the Pulpit’. ‘Must’, ‘Gesture’, ‘Pulpit’ may have...

...Ambition
In the centuries preceding the twenty first, the world underwent a revolution of personal freedoms giving even the most underprivileged dreamers a sensation of desiring to be successful in life achieving great things and the possibility of turning their previously unimaginable dreams into reality. This earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction can be measured by that person’s willingness to strive for and attain those dreams (Dictionary.com). Ambition is the first building block of success, a life goal developed through life to better one’s position in society, and the dreams of one day changing the known world of the better.
Ambition is only the idea of achieving goals and dreams therefore ambition is only a building block toward success and not the source of achievement. Thoughts and dreams are the starting point in any accomplishment by providing the outline of how those ambitions are to be accomplished. By providing a form of self motivation ambition moves the individual along threw their journey toward the intended goal. The source and amount of achievement, however is the combination of several variables and ambition. Ambition can be used to define a person’s character, giving incites as to how far some will go to achieve their dreams. Having no ambition could indicate a person’s self-esteem problems, not that...

The determination to achieve and ambition are keys to a successful life. However, one of Shakespeare’s major themes in his play Macbeth is too much ambition ultimately brings ruin. When ambition goes unchecked, there is corruption of natural order. This theme of ambition can best be explained by analyzing the motives of Lady Macbeth, the witches, as well as Macbeth.
To begin, Lady Macbeth is a deeply ambitious woman who lusts for power. She is the one who initially spurs her husband into killing Duncan. As soon as she learns about the witches prophecies and spies the opportunity for her husband to become king, she instantly thinks of a plan to accelerate the process. Her longing for power and convincing manner encourages him as to act without any reflection, and to murder. There’s a quote that defines very well how Lady Macbeth was affected by ambition: Niccolo Machiavelli states “He who blinded by ambition, raises himself to a position whence he cannot mount higher, must thereafter fall with the greatest loss”. Lady Macbeth, who was blinded by the envy of gaining wealth, in the end committed suicide because of the conscience she had developed. She had realized how tough it is to wash or soak out nasty bloodstains. Even though her husband didn’t...

Caesar’s Ambition
“Did Julius Caesar have it coming? Was he on his way out already? Was Caesar too
Ambition? No, I do not believe that Caesar was ambition or did he want to be crowned
king. People like Mark Antony and I did not believe that Caesar was ambitious but
“Markus Brutus was an honorable man” (Act 2 scene 2). I agree with Mark Antony’s
speech concluding that Caesar was not ambitious and that even thou Markus Brutus was
an honorable man that we was gullible towards these doubts about Julius. I believe this
sums up the fact that Julius Caesar was not ambitious. “Friends, Romans, countrymen,
lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives
after them; The good is oft interrèd with their bones. So let it be with Caesar. The noble
Brutus. Hath told you Caesar was ambitious. Grievously hath Caesar answered it. Here,
under leave of Brutus and the rest—For Brutus is an honorable man; So are they all, all
honorable men—Come I to speak in Caesar’s funeral. He was my friend, faithful and
just to me. But Brutus says he was ambitious, And Brutus is an honorable man. He hath
brought many captives home to Rome, Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill. Did this
in Caesar seem ambitious?When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept. Ambition
should be made of sterner stuff. Yet Brutus says he...

...Ambition is an eager and sometimes an exorbitant desire for elevation, honor, power, supremacy or simply the achievement of something. The origin of this word comes from the word “ambicioun” and explains the yearning for money and wealth or power in general. Ambition is basically an instinct. No matter what background or age you are, you are surely ambitious in any way. This eagerness is not only a driving force for both individuals and society but could also end in a fiasco. We set our goals and try to achieve them being ambitious. Sometimes trying to reach our goals is a risky undertaking but only through this we find our talents and get more mature.
To me ambition is really important when it comes to my family and my friends. I usually don’t want to reach a goal or try to achieve something for myself but rather to make others happy. I am not a very ambitious person when concerning homework, exams or school in general and I certainly know that this is not a very good attitude but it is simply a result of my laziness. To me it is extremely important to make others happy, to see them smile and be proud of me. Sometimes certain things like my family or my best friend let me go far beyond my own limits and after I have achieved something, which I thought I could never get to, I feel awesome. But after this wears off I feel empty because the ambition drove me to the height of my abilities and right after I reached...
